Elihu Gregg, the septuagenarin
Greene county incendiary, who has
been before the criminal courts of
the states of West Virginia and
Pennsylvania for nearly twenty
years, is said to be winding up his
career of crime by settling up with
some of his imaginary enemies in a
manner that will make future crime
turn green with envy. Years ago he
was locked up in the Preston comfy
Jail and escaped by burning down
the Jail and court house. He was
recaptured and under the law Of the
state sentenced to death. He was
offered an alternative sentence of
Imprisonment for life, but he said he
preferred death. Meantime he fought
of the execution Of the sentence and
again managed to escape. Again he
was recaptured and this time he took

The New York Stars Washington
correspondent says Ex-senator
Camden of West Virginia has return.
ed here. Asked as to the probable
result of the senatorial contest before
the special session of the Legislature
OF that State soon to be held, he was
unable to make any prediction.
His friends have been trying to whip
the boilers into line, but so Ear the
results of their efforts have not been
encouraging. The fight against Mr..
Camden is purely a personal one.
1t does not argue any relaxation of
party loyalty or discipline. The
Democrats are still in control of the
State, and in support Of man like
John h. Kenna would present an
unbroken front Mr.. Kennas hold
upon his party is exceedingly strong,
and that alone makes Republican
ascendency impossible. The young
Senator, by the way, has gone home
with an assortment of saddles and
a collection of fishing reels, prepar-
ed for both the streams and the
chase. He delights in fishing and
hunting for the larger game, and will
spend the summer in the mountains
at home indulging in the pleasures
of sportsman.
